People often come to me because they recognize something is not working and they are willing to admit that it is no longer fruitful to simply try to figure it out on their own. They are open to self-reflection, new ideas for coping, self-care, and communication with others. People present with all kinds of issues: depression and anxiety, relational struggles, difficulty connecting to what they want and following through on goals, unresolved trauma from the past or present, the use of coping mechanisms that had been helpful, but no longer are, and challenges posed by various life-stage transitions. We all need support in hard times.
I have been practicing, teaching, and writing about AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) for over 25 years. My work helps people get in touch with the emotions and bodily awareness that is often missing when they are "stuck “ or “spinning.” I create safety and a strong therapeutic connection to facilitate this exploration and healing.
My approach is warm and affirming. I am a good and careful listener and take people into my heart and mind in order to ask the right questions and help guide them to the truths they need to embrace in order to have the life they desire. Therapy can be challenging and require courage. I see myself as a partner in that fruitful and brave hard work.
